After lunch, Fu Mingxuan hastily bid her goodbye and left.

Pei Ge did not rush to go home after this but went for a stroll on the streets instead.

Actually, ever since she was transferred to Tianjin, she had never come out to shop before.

Watching the pairs and groups of people walking along the streets, she could not help but feel a little lonely.

This time, I should hurry back after settling everything at Jiaheng.

Although occupying the top seat of such a company felt good, she still preferred her peaceful life in the capital.

She glanced at the happily chattering girls and immediately recalled Qin Qitong and Pan Xinlei.

I wonder how Qitong is doing. Did she quarrel with Bi Zheng again?

As she thought of this, she took out her phone and dialed the young lady's number.

Strangely, the call did not connect.

"That lass, why is her phone not ringing? Did something happen to her?"

She frowned worriedly.

Strolling along the streets for some time, she suddenly felt that it was boring. Thus, she took a taxi back to the company.

As today was the start of a long holiday, the company was empty.

She made her way to her office and resumed work.

Clearly, it was already the holiday, and she had completed all her works, yet she still worked overtime and strove to study the new project proposals.

This lasted until it was almost 6 PM.

If it were not for her phone ringing, she would probably continue with her work.

"Ma'am, where are you? I went to fetch you at your house, but you weren't there."

The person calling was none other than her assistant, Wu Yongkang.

"Oh, I'm not at home. I'm at the company now," she answered with a smile.

"Boss, you're too hardworking. It's already the holiday, but you're still working overtime at the company!"

"I had nothing to do alone, so I came to the company." She shrugged it off.

"Okay, then. Ma'am, I'll come fetch you from the company."

"Okay, come over. I'll wait here for you."

With that said, she hung up and went back to reviewing the documents.

She came here alone, suffered some hardships, and even spent a lot of effort, living each day busily.

Despite all the hardships, she honestly felt that her life here had been very fulfilling and educational.

She was quite grateful to Ji Ziming's father for transferring her here for training.

Although she did not know how his father would rate her work performance here, she herself already felt very satisfied.

Knock, knock, knock!

A series of knocking interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in."

She put down the document in her hand and looked up at the door.

"Ma'am, let's go. The party is about to start."

Her assistant walked in.

"Okay." She got up from the chair and circled around her desk.

However, the moment she did so, her secretary exclaimed in surprise.

"Ma'am, today is the company's year-end party. Don't tell me that you're planning to attend it in such a casual outfit?"

"Eh? What's wrong with my clothing?"

She raised a brow and then eyed her brown windbreaker.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Of course, it's not right. You are the star today. Plus, everyone will be in their best outfits for tonight's banquet," he stated helplessly.

A grown man like him also knew that he had to wear formal clothes today, so why was their little overlord this blur?

She was slightly stunned by this and could not help but recall Ji Ziming.

Every time she attended a banquet and wore a gown, that man would always be by her side.

"Xiao Wu, bring me to a random salon. I'll go pick a change of dress."

She smiled softly.

Will that man appear again to be my male partner if I put on an evening gown?

While in her assistant's car, her thoughts drifted to that man.

A few times, she had even taken out her phone, wanting to dial the number she had saved in her heart.

In the end, she did not press the call button.

"Right, ma'am. When I left your apartment earlier, I think I saw a man go into your apartment."

Her secretary struck up a conversation with her while driving.

Blinking in surprise, she said with uncertainty, "It shouldn't be. I don't know anyone here, so that man shouldn't be heading to my apartment."

"Hmm… Maybe, I saw wrongly. After all, you're not the only occupant on that floor." Her assistant thought for a while and then agreed.

However, for some reason, after subconsciously denying the idea, she could not help but think something else.

Could it be… that annoying fellow?

Ah, ah, ah! Impossible! It's surely impossible! I must be thinking too much!

A while passed, and she finally finished dressing herself up.

However, unknown whether her aesthetic taste differed from the stylist or aesthetic sense had improved, but her present appearance did not meet her eyes.

Although the stylist kept praising her from head to toe, she still decided to change her style a little.

At this time, she must admit that the lessons the man had arranged for her were truly significant!

Once she was done, she got in her secretary's car again, and they headed to Jiaheng's year-end party venue.

The traffic situation today was smooth. Not encountering any traffic jams, they quickly reached the venue.

This year's year-end party was grand; the walkway to the place was even laid with a red carpet, just like a celebrities' walkway.

She walked on the red carpet and into the venue.

"Greetings, ma'am!"

"Boss, you're here!"

"Wow! Boss, you look so pretty today!"

"Ma'am, sit here please!"

She received a passionate welcome upon entering the place.

She sat in the front row seat, surrounded by a group of women.

"He he! Ma'am, I really envy you! If someone were to confess to me during this year-end party, I'd definitely agree to it!"

"That's right! I'd even agree to marrying him!"

She sat in her seat and regarded the group of assistants shooting her looks of envy while chattering on. This sight bewildered her.

What are these people talking about? Something feels off.

"It's starting; it's starting! The banquet is starting! Boss, we'll return to our seats first!"

"He he! Boss, relax, we'll definitely record everything that happens today!"

Record what? What are you guys talking about?

She frowned slightly. Right now, she was unaware that a man was silently approaching her from nearby.

She was also unaware that tonight would be an unforgettable night for her.
